TUNE IN 7 a.m. 99.5 FM @WBAI Kelly Smith @nysppc Rachel Dawn Davis NJ #poorpeoplescampaign March 2 Albany & Trenton rallies part of mass 2024 mobilization to get low wage-low wealth voters (85 million) to the polls. @RevDrBarber vimeo.com/906790864/fab1…
On this day in 1969, Chicago Police officers assassinated Black Panther Party leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark by firing over 90 bullets during a pre-dawn apartment raid. calendar.eji.org/racial-injusti…
At the site where MLK called for an end to the Vietnam War, faith leaders of color, organizers and people of conscience call for a #CeasefireNOW! Free free Palestine! We cannot be silent while genocide is happening before our eyes. @middlechurch @nysppc @JFREJNYC @jvplive
Genocide is not self-defense. Free Palestine @lsarsour #CeasefireNOW #CeasefireInGazaNOW @middlechurch @nysppc
By voting to censure @RashidaTlaib, @danielsgoldman and @RitchieTorres have sided with MAGA Republicans over their own colleague, the only Palestinian-American member of congress, a woman currently receiving death threats. Absolutely shameful.
Whomever made this, bravo!
Ordering 1.1 million people to evacuate an area in 24 hours is an impossible task. There are people who remain in hospitals in northern Gaza who can’t be moved. Israel must rescind the order, abide by international law & prevent mass atrocities against the Palestinian people.
BREAKING: Israel’s military has directed the evacuation of northern Gaza, a region that is home to 1.1 million people, within 24 hours, according to a U.N. spokesman. apnews.com/article/israel…
Rest in peace and power #CharlesOgletree. I am so grateful that I had the chance to meet you and work with you years ago on The Pipeline Crisis: Winning Strategies for Young Black Men. You helped shape what I wanted to do with my career and my life. npr.org/2023/08/04/119…
People using “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” to deter discussion of, teaching about, and protest against racism are not students of the comprehensive #MLK. My father’s dream and work included eradicating racism, not ignoring it.
At the #MoralPovertyActionCongress, @RevDrBarber re-introduced the Third Reconstruction Resolution to impacted leaders & activists from across the U.S. Guided by the transformational periods of the First & Second, the resolution upholds demands for equity, liberty & justice. 1/2
If we truly care about one each other, about justice, it is past time we become a "new and unsettling force" as Dr. King said. We must get in "good trouble" & DEFEAT white supremacy & white Christian nationalism that have plagued the US since the beginning. #Nojusticenopeace
It is divisive to call for peace without working for justice. It is uncivilized to ask for civility while prospering from and perpetuating systemic violence. “True peace,” my father said, “is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” #NoJusticeNoPeace
Mariana from the @nysppc delegation speaks her powerful truth about her and her son's experience with homelessness and our country's failing health system. @UniteThePoor #MoralPovertyActionCongress
Poverty is the 4th leading cause of death in America, the richest nation in the history of the world. Poverty = America's death sentence. @nysppc @UniteThePoor @middlechurch #MoralPovertyActionCongress
FAIR & TIMELY PAROLE PASSES OUT OF COMMITTEE IN THE NY SENATE! It’s time for Senate Majority Leader @AndreaSCousins to bring it to the floor for a vote.
Today, the NY Senate Committee on Crime Victims, Crime & Correction, led by Chair @JuliaCarmel__, will be voting on the Fair & Timely Parole bill. They’re discussing the bill now…
“We live in a state of moral catastrophe, otherwise known as the United States of America. And the forces that create moral catastrophe want us to feel alone and isolated. But *we* do not have to concede.” - Dr. David Kyuman Kim
On Malcolm X's birthday, I think about him & Rosa Parks.They meet for the first time in 1963 because he puts out the word he wants to meet her. Courage needs courage; activists need other activists. He talked about 2 civil rights activists with awe-Rosa Parks & Fannie Lou Hamer.
You mean like Jubilee? Debt forgiveness? The return of lost land? Release from economic enslavement? Putting in place social systems to eradicate poverty? The redistribution of wealth? Establishing justice in the public square? Absolutely won't apologize for any of that
Bebhinn Francis of @VOCALNewYork has been dealing with accumulating medical debt from visits to urgent care. #endmedicaldebt
